Description
What does generative artificial intelligence mean for our classes? For our approaches to teaching? To the ways that students engage with content? To the ways in which we assess student learning? This participant-driven “unconference” brings together faculty to discuss the implications of ChatGPT and other tools, consider the ever-evolving resources on the topic, and to develop plans for our current and future classrooms. Conversations earlier this semester, notably the Provost’s Office ChatGPT Panel held in February and the University Writing Skills Committee open forum in March, laid the foundation for a “what comes next” event. Come join with local experts and inform your next steps. If you are unfamiliar with the unconference format, know that it engages participants in real-time structural and topical decisions, provides multiple learning opportunities, fosters open dialog, and only involves sticky notes if you so choose.
Resources will be added to the Pew FTLC website in advance, but if you looking for a few things to read right now, see the items listed below. Direct any questions to the unconference facilitator and Pew FTLC Director, Christine Rener. To help better plan for space, please register in Sprout.
